Who the hell are you to tell me what's rediculus or not? I know what I'm looking for and PS4, XBO, and regular PCs aren't it. I like Nintendo games, so I bought a Nintendo console. I don't really care about anything else, so if I don't need to spend extra money on products I don't like just to play a couple of games I'm vaguely interested in, I won't. Don't get me wrong, I literally don't care about missing every 3rd party game. I don't care about "gaming" enough for that to matter to me. Do a lot of those games interest me? Absolutely. Will I lose any sleep over never playing any of them? No. The only reason I'm even considering a Steambox is because, on paper, it sounds like exactly what I'm personally looking. As someone who literally just plays games casually. If it's not what I want, I just won't buy it. I don't care. |
It seems to me that you are the exact type of consumer Valve is targeting with this device. I hope you don't get it the wrong way, I don't mean this as an insult at all, but I believe that you are in a huge minority of people interested in games. And that Steam Machines have no future in gaming.
I completely understand you playing Nintendo and wanting to diversify slightly. But a great majority of people who want to play games will either stay exclusive t their console, or diversify to another console (PS4/XO <-> Nintendo, either direction), or will buy a PC to play games. Very few will see SM as a solution, because it is the worst possible value for money.
I understand that you don't want another console, mainly because of online fees, and that's perfectly fine. But I seriously recommend that you reconsider getting a PC, for any amount if money you are willing to spend on SM you can get a superior PC, and still be able to pkay as many or as few games you like.
